Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

Your Windows 7 machine with the printer attached via USB cable is the "Host Machine". All other PCs are the "Client Machines".

Normally the additional driver must be installed on the Client machine.
However, if I recall correctly, I had good luck getting the printer driver needed installed without having to manually install it on the client machine. The needed drivers were loaded as long as the Host machine had sharing enabled (your mileage may vary).
